Petty zoos are all fun and games until the smell hits you like a punch to the face. One minute, you’re feeding a cute little goat, and the next, you’re questioning every life choice that led you to stand in a field surrounded by the stench of wet hay, animal droppings, and whatever mysterious funk is radiating from that suspicious-looking llama. It’s like nature’s way of reminding you that while animals are adorable, they’re also walking, bleating stink bombs. And no matter how many hand sanitizer pumps you go through, that essence of barnyard clings to you like an unwanted souvenir.

Now, I’m not saying that the Jackass Gold Hold & Win slot from Novomatic is a trauma response to an ill-fated petting zoo experience, but the signs are there. I mean, how else do you come up with a slot where a donkey literally fires gold coins at you from its ass? That’s not just creativity. That’s someone working through some serious barnyard baggage.

There’s a goose laying golden eggs and then there’s this!

The Jackass Gold Hold & Win slot features 25 paylines across five reels. Betting on the slot starts from just $0.25, with a maximum bet limit of $270.

If you’re betting at the maximum level, you’ll have a shot at winning up to $363,420, thanks to the 1,346x maximum multiplier. The slot has medium volatility, offering a balanced mix of smaller consistent wins and chances at those bigger payouts. The slot’s RTP is 92%.

The slot features stacked wild symbols that will substitute for paying symbols to complete or boost winning combinations. 

The Hold and Win feature activates when six or more gold coin bonus symbols appear on the reels. These triggering symbols are frozen in place, and players receive three spins to land additional bonus symbols. Every time a new symbol lands, the spin count resets to three. The round continues until no new symbols appear after three consecutive spins.

At the end of the round, the face value of all collected bonus symbols is totaled and awarded. Jackpot symbols may also appear during this feature, awarding mini, minor, or major jackpots.

Scatter symbols appear on reels two, three, and four. When three or more scatters land simultaneously, they trigger a round of free spins.

During these free spins, all low-paying symbols are removed from the reels, improving the chances of landing higher-value wins and activating additional bonus features.

A Buy Bonus feature is available, allowing players to purchase a round of free spins. However, the Hold and Win bonus game must be triggered through regular gameplay, as it cannot be purchased.

Is the Jackass Gold Hold & Win slot worth getting your hands dirty?

I’m not above a fart joke. It’s primal humor, and I’m unwilling to deny myself that. But toilet humor can definitely be taken too far. For me, the Jackass Gold Hold & Win slot flirts a little too close to that line. I might have overlooked it if the rest of the slot was great, but it’s pretty standard.

The one feature that stood out is the free spins round, where all low-paying symbols are removed. That gives the free spins a solid edge I don’t see often. But the Hold and Win feature? Stock standard. Nothing unique, nothing to write home about.

All in all, I give the Jackass Gold Hold & Win slot a solid seven out of ten.

If you’re looking for a few other slots from Novomatic to try out, I recommend Aztec Eclipse Hold & Win and Million Dollar Heist Xtreme.
